Highlights
  • DMZ - After pickup at your Seoul hotel in the morning or afternoon, drive to the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). En route, your guide shares expert commentary on the dividing line between North and South Korea.

Get out at Imjingak Park along the banks of Imjin River to see artillery and war artifacts that were used during the Korean conflict before proceeding to Freedom bridge, where nearly 13,000 Korean POWs crossed on their return back home to South Korea.

Reboard the coach and head to the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel, located beneath the border of North Korea and South Korea. See where the South Koreans have blocked the actual Military Demarcation Line with concrete barricades, and browse photographs and war artifacts at the DMZ exhibition hall.

Your next stop is Dora Observatory, where you can use binoculars to get a glimpse of North Korea. Listen to your guide explain daily life in the village of Kijongdong across the river.

Continue by coach to Dorasan Station, a historic spot that not only marks the division, but also serves as a gateway for exchanges between the north and south. Pass by the Unification Village, a small farming community that specialized in creating soybean milk, traditional soy sauce and corn goods.

Intro to Korean history :D - Highly recommend! This is a great tour and gives you an introduction to Korean history and politics. Our tour guide Chloe was very kind, knowledgeable and explained the tour in detail. The DMZ, suspension bridge and 3rd tunnel are all once in a life time experience. There is a lot of walking involved and if you are unable to participate in all the activities, I would recommend that you skip going to the 3rd tunnel. Note if you book this tour under 24 hours with hotel pick up, you will be asked to meet at a pick up point.

DMZ half day tour - Dora was a funny and knowledgeable guide and the tour was well organised. I found the history between North & South Korea to be fascinating. Had a great 1/2 day, didn’t need to do a full day tour. Thank you

Nice tour - The trip was nice and well organized. However, the weather forecast was bad and we couldn't see anything from the observatory. I would suggest to warn people and offer them the possibility to cancel in last minute if the weather is bad. By the way, our guide Chloe was great and friendly! (and funny)
